.AVIATION /12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday/...
Issued at 530 AM MDT Thu Sep 11 2025
VFR through the TAF period. Main concern is once again a period
of gusty/variable winds due to relatively high based shower/storm
outflows this afternoon and evening. Coverage and therefore the
probability of -TSRA and VRB winds takes a slight increase from
yesterday due to a slight uptick in overall moisture, but not
enough to go any more than a PROB30 at this time. Main time frame
of concern would again be from 21Z-02Z.
Otherwise winds should start from the W-SW through about 17Z, and
then become variable. There is more uncertainty as to how winds
then progress through 21Z, but most likely is a northeast or
easterly component developing before shower/storm outflows start
to disrupt winds. Models then suggest a rather quick return to SSW
around 12 kts 02-04Z after cessation of any showers or storms in
the vicinity.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1132 PM MDT Wed Sep 10 2025
VFR overnight into Thu morning, though will have to watch for
a few showers potentially drifting off the high terrain into the
terminals (mainly KALS) roughly 09z-14z. Upper wave lifting out
of the wrn U.S. trough on Thu will provide increased upward
motion over the higher terrain, leading to more widespread and
earlier starting convection at many locations. Kept a prob30
for -tsra at KALS at 19z, though at least a few cams show storms
even a couple hours earlier. Also kept a prob30 to KCOS and KPUB
for the afternoon/early evening, as several CAMs show a wave of
convection spreading off the higher terrain through the afternoon.
Main feature of storms at the terminals on Thursday will be winds,
with gusts to at least 35 kts possible. Activity wanes after
01z-03z, with a lingering vcsh through the evening at KALS.

Strong southerly flow will continue to push moisture across the
4 corners over the next 24 hours as well as gusty winds. Some
clearing is evident this morning across eastern Utah into
portions of western Colorado while some isolated showers linger
across the western Colorado Divide. This should allow for enough
surface heating to initiate thunderstorm development by late
this morning, sometime between 16Z and 18Z. Showers and
thunderstorms are expected to be widespread to numerous, so most
TAF sites will carry VCTS and PROB30 groups for potential
reduced VSBY and lower CIGS due to heavier rain rates. Winds
in excess of 45 mph, hail and heavy rain bursts will all be
threats with storms. A few storms will continue to impact TAF
sites through the evening and overnight, most likely KDRO and
KTEX. Nocturnal showers and storms will also linger well into
the early morning hours Friday morning, but confidence on the

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 450 AM MDT Thu Sep 11 2025
Isolated showers continue over central and far western portions
of the forecast area this morning. A thunderstorm currently over
the Star Valley may hold together and impact KJAC as it
continues to move northward. This activity is expected to end
by 15Z with mostly clear skies for much of the area. VFR
conditions expected for the entirety of the period for all TAF
sites. Thunderstorm activity increases after 19Z with the storms
moving from the southwest to northeast. This activity will be
widely scattered across the CWA, but all terminals will have a
chance to impacted between 20Z and 00Z. Outside of storm
outflow winds, expect synoptic wind gusts of 25 to 35 kt. Some
of the stronger gusts will be up to 45 kt as a result of the
already higher wind gusts. Most of this convective activity will
end for much of the area by 02Z, however showers will remain
possible through 12Z from southern Lincoln County to the Bighorn
Basin. Confidence remains too low to include any impacts at any
terminal through this time frame.
Please see the Aviation Weather Center and/or CWSU ZDV and ZLC for
the latest information on smoke, icing, and turbulence
forecasts.

Showers and storms are slowly moving out of the area tonight with
clearing skies across western Nebraska. Aviation concerns turn to
the possibility of fog and low stratus at KCYS, KBFF, KAIA, and
KSNY, with the highest likelihood at KAIA and KSNY. Clouds and
patchy fog should begin to clear as the sun comes up, before
gusty winds return to the region once more. Gusty winds expected
through the majority of the afternoon as shower and
thunderstorm chances return.

GLD: IFR or LIFR stratus or fog may develop at the Goodland
terminal early this morning. Burlington (KITR), just 30 miles
west of GLD, has been reporting IFR ceilings since ~0830Z. Sub-
VFR conditions associated with low ceilings /stratus/ could
persist for several hours after sunrise. VFR conditions will
return by late morning and persist through the duration of the
TAF period. Scattered high-based convection emanating from the
Raton Mesa, Colorado Front Range and Palmer Divide may progress
into portions of eastern CO (perhaps extreme western KS) prior
to dissipating this evening. Coverage/probability are low enough
to preclude explicit mention with the 12Z TAF issuance. S winds
at 10-15 knots will veer to the SW and increase to 15-25 knots
this afternoon.. decreasing to 10-15 knots around or shortly
before sunset this evening. Gusty/erratic winds are possible in
vicinity of *any* high-based showers/storms (even virga or
decaying convection) late this aft-eve.
MCK: Stratus and/or fog may develop around or shortly before
sunrise this morning.. similar to previous days. Stratus/fog, if
present, would lift and dissipate within a few hours after
sunrise. VFR conditions will otherwise prevail through the TAF
period. ESE to SE winds at 5-10 knots will veer to the SE-SSE
and increase to 10-20 knots this afternoon.. decreasing to 8-13
knots around or shortly before sunset this evening.

Continued VFR conditions will occur across all terminals today
and tonight. Expect gusty southerly winds 10-15 knots and gusts
20-25 knots. Added LLWS to the TAFs tonight given the expected
ramp up of the low-level jet 40-50 knots, mainly after 04z.

Shower and thunderstorm activity has reduced and dwindled to
northwestern and north central areas of New Mexico. Lightning
activity is decreasing, signifying activity is weaker than a few
hours ago, but a few showers or stray storms will periodically
redevelop into the early morning hours Thursday. Low level wind
shear will impact eastern plains airports overnight as a low level
jet (a belt of higher wind speeds just a couple thousand feet
above the surface) develops. This low level wind shear will fade
into the late morning Thursday as vertical mixing processes in the
atmosphere resume. Additional showers and thunderstorms will
redevelop Thursday afternoon with the northwestern areas of New
Mexico being favored as an unseasonably strong upper level trough
approaches. A few strong to severe storms will be observed in
these northwestern areas Thursday afternoon and evening with
damaging downburst winds, hail, and brief heavy downpours
accompanying.
